In one of the most modest matches of the KHL game day, we are waiting for a meeting between Siberia and CSKA. The start of the match of these teams is scheduled for October 28 at 15:30 Moscow time at the Siberia Arena. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
"Siberia"
There were several signings in the offseason from Siberia in the person of Shor and Vedin, but newcomers are unlikely to be able to replace the departed stars. The team noticeably sank in performance skills and creativity, which began to manifest itself during the season. "Siberia" rarely wins the new championship and goes outside the playoff zone. Now the team has good times, it gives out a series of victories, and in the last match it beat Barys 4-3 at home.
CSKA
CSKA lost confidence in recent meetings and began to lose, as it was in games against not the strongest Amur and Kunlun RS, where the Muscovites' defense played extremely poorly, which has long been blamed on the very controversial person of the head coach of the Army, the chair under which staggered after losing the derby to Spartak. Now the team gives out a good away series, beating Admiral and Amur, but it does not look dominant.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
"Siberia" - Komarov (injury), Yakovlev (injury).
CSKA - Yurtaikin (injury), Walmark (injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 1-0 victory for CSKA.
- Siberia has a good series of three consecutive victories.
- CSKA has lost only twice in its last five matches.
Forecast
The favorite in that confrontation looks like CSKA, which has a stronger squad, although it is now in bad shape. "Siberia" is on the move now and gives out a series of victories, and on the road with this opponent in Moscow was able to catch on to a draw. I think we will have a hard game with a small number of goals.
